A different director [entertainment circle]
Work related
my arrangements. "
"Of course, I won't let you work for free. I will pay you the screenwriter's salary according to the market price."
Writing a screenplay is a lot of fun in one day, and you get paid for it.Liu Zhengwen, a simple young man, immediately nodded in agreement.
Just when Qin Yan was thinking about how to cheat more labor, Liu Zhengwen took the initiative to pull Xie Beiyang and the others:
"Anyway, you have nothing to do recently, why don't you come together. Let Boss Qin pay us wages."
"You think, if there is a script for a movie, it must be a great feeling if you write the screenplay, shoot it yourself, and participate in it yourself! If you miss this village, you won't have this store."
Qin Yan swore to God in his heart at that time that he never bribed Liu Zhengwen, nor did he use any power to force Liu Zhengwen to say these words.
Xi Qianqian and the others were very moved. They asked Qin Yan if he had any special requirements for writing skills. After Qin Yan resolutely said "no", even Xie Beiyang, Ren Yue and Xi Qianqian officially joined the script creation ranks.
Qin Yan showed an extremely gentle smile to everyone: "Then let us work hard for our script together."
Everyone originally thought that this was the joy of playing and working together.
But on the second day, when Qin Yan held a stack of screenwriting contracts, and the total contract remuneration reached six figures, even Liu Zhengwen realized that things seemed to be a little different from their imagination.
Liu Zhengwen wanted to run away, but Qin Yan stood behind him and Xi Qianqian, patted their shoulders and said:
"I don't think you can count your words, Mr. Liu Zhengwen, Ms. Xi Qianqian."
The next half month will be hell for Xi Qianqian and the others.
In fact, screenwriting is quite a threshold job. First of all, you must have a certain level of writing skills to be able to create a complete story.
For example, the legendary divine film "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is a shi-like script, which can't even tell the most basic stories.
On the other hand, if you want your work to achieve commercial success, you must understand and control the psychology and emotions of the audience in the entire market.
Many screenwriters have created some extremely bloody scripts, and the audience can't help but curse after watching them, but why can their works be changed time and time again, becoming star-studded TV series and even put on the big screen?The most typical ones are anti-Japanese dramas and youth dramas.
The reason is very simple, because these screenwriters have completely grasped the audience's inner reaction to the plot, which is not even clear to the audience themselves.
For example, in bad movies, the audience often doubts whether there is a character who goes out with his brain, and he has been jumping around in the plot as a monster.It stands to reason that an unreasonable character destroys the integrity of the entire story from the beginning.
But the screenwriter can completely maintain the ratings by creating the audience's hatred for this character and wanting to see when he will receive the lunch.
Of course, there are also many positive cases. For example, in a mystery film, the screenwriter must grasp the rhythm of the evidence and the real murderer.How to use the primacy effect and stereotype effect to mislead the audience, and when the real murderer is finally revealed, the audience will have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
So if you want to be a really good screenwriter, you must know yourself better than the audience.
But the script Qin Yan wants to create is very special, it is no longer a work of personal inspiration.
In the 90th and [-]s of the last century, martial arts were all the rage in Huaguo. Four martial arts masters, Jin, Gu, Liang, and Wen, appeared, and they created an extremely magnificent world of rivers and lakes.
Huaguo also started in the 90s, and a large number of martial arts-themed film and television works appeared. Even if the good and the bad are mixed, both the ratings and the box office are much higher than the same works.
This is also the reason why martial arts works emerge in endlessly and flood.
Moreover, the screenwriters know what audiences and readers like to see from martial arts stories, so these stories are becoming more and more similar.
Romantic fate, conspiracies and tricks, evil prevails over good, heroes and beauties, adventures in rivers and lakes... Only famous directors like Zhang Yimou dare to innovate and create.
In fact, Qin Yan also wanted to make a classic martial arts movie, crushing other works in terms of quality.But for the current Qin Yan, there is no way to do it yet.
The funds are incomparable, the cast is incomparable, and the martial arts props are also incomparable.
Although the box office of "Ancient House" is gratifying, more funds need to be settled by Paramount and Huaying, and it will take a year and a half.What's more, even if Qin Yan took all the money to make a movie, he would definitely not be able to invite first-line actors.
Qin Yan is just a director, he is not a god.
So he can only choose to find another way, which is to make a martial arts movie that is different from the current traditional ones.
How to win by surprise?Qin Yan thought for the last half day and the answer was a funny commercial film.
In fact, when Qin Yan came up with this answer, he was also a little tangled in his heart.
After getting so much money, what movie do you think Qin Yan wants to make the most?The answer is actually very simple, it must be an art film.
After all, he had been doing this in his previous life, and he was only one step away from the highest crown.
But what can you do with an art film now, there are no film audiences who appreciate art films in China, is it possible that Qin Yan will not climb and roll in China for decades?
What's more, Qin Yan, who has resurrected his life, has a deeper feeling for the film market in Huaguo. He feels that he may be able to do something to change the current and future film market.
So far, Qin Yan has settled on the characteristics of his script, which is funny, unexpected, and breaking the rules.
The idea of writing the script this time is also not Qin Yan's genius idea, but just ahead of the vision of this era.
At least more than 10 years later, there is already a professional term for similar plots on the Internet, which is called "anti-routine".
By creating plots that are contrary to conventions, the purpose of attracting attention and being funny is achieved.
To create an anti-routine script, the first prerequisite is to organize and summarize most of the martial arts works currently on the market.Only by condensing their elements can the anti-routine be carried out.
For example, if the protagonist gets injured casually, he will always be blessed if he survives a catastrophe; if he accidentally falls off a cliff, he can get the magic book; the protagonist who is obviously not outstanding in character, character, and martial arts can be favored by beauties ...
These plots can make the audience feel excited in traditional martial arts.
After all, who wouldn't want to be able to get something for nothing?Who doesn't want to be hit by a pie in the sky?
The goal of these plots is to create a sense of resonance between the audience and the protagonist, and then gain pleasure through the protagonist's experience.
The anti-routine is different. It breaks the routine and creates a gap between the protagonist and expectations, thereby driving the audience's pleasure.
Qin Yan's goal is to create a script that makes the audience laugh from beginning to end through plot reversal.
Although Qin Yan can also quickly come up with some reversal plot jokes, this is far from enough for a script.
As for the quality, it represents Qin Yan's personal subjective feelings.Therefore, he must collect and consult a large amount of information.
In the past 10 years, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, including Japan and South Korea filmed martial arts movies and TV dramas; domestically published in the past 20 to [-] years; there are also short stories serialized in magazines such as "Martial Arts"; even just emerging in the past two years Network literature……
Such a workload can be called overwhelming.
Qin Yan also thought about finding someone to share the burden, but this involves the creation of the script. If it is accidentally spread, it will be a completely devastating blow to anti-routine movies.
I didn't expect that when I was most short of manpower, "good people" like Liu Zhengwen and Xie Beiyang would take the initiative to send them to my door, so of course Qin Yan would not miss it.
In fact, Qin Yan still has a sense of mission in his heart.He was thinking that Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian would definitely go to work in different crews in the future, at least they had to cultivate their basic aesthetics for scripts.
The heads of the marketing departments of various film companies can completely judge whether a film is worth investing in through the script.
As long as Xi Qianqian and the others learn how to choose scripts and add their own acting skills, no matter how bad the quality of the final movie is, it won't be that bad.
That being the case, let yourself take on this great and arduous responsibility, and let them grow by setting an example through this script writing.
Qin Yan lamented that he was indeed a more and more good person, and he was really responsible for his friends.
The director's love for actors, photography, and sound effects is far-reaching.
Qin Yan is so considerate of everyone, of course he must be strict with everyone!
Even Qin Yan felt that the complicated and complicated work was an abyss of despair for others.
Qin Yan borrowed the books and movies that could be borrowed, and bought them directly if he couldn't.
It's not that Qin Yan is stingy, but Qin Yan knows that his home can't hold a lot of materials, and he won't use it again after using it once.
As the leading film school in China, Pingying has collected a large number of film works in its library.Qin Yan took Liu Zhengwen and the others to carry the materials every day.
After the rental amount of the few of them reached the line, Qin Yan mobilized his roommates Ding Chang and Ding Songzhi, and even He Jianhua couldn't escape later.
In the case of priority rental, Qin Yan recently spent five figures on books and DVDs.
Now the Qin family can really be called a sea of books.All kinds of martial arts are placed in categories, classified according to author, type, age, and country.Computers and two TVs have been playing film and television works from various countries at double speed.
Although Liu Zhengwen and Ren Yue also like to watch martial arts works, they watch movies in a state of freedom and doing whatever they want.
But now, while they were watching, they had to extract all the plots that impressed them and the plots that were not logically self-consistent, and record them in the notebook according to Qin Yan's request.
"A certain work", what kind of plot, what kind of emotions the audience is mobilized, and the frequency of appearance...
Moreover, everyone has specific workload requirements every day. At present, it seems that the daily workload is more than eight hours.
Human beings have many hobbies, but these hobbies can only make people feel happy if they are free of any burden.
And when they become a job, completed with a purpose, and even have various assessment indicators, they will become extremely boring.
Xie Beiyang's ability can be said to be quite outstanding, and his sensitivity to writing is particularly strong, otherwise he would not be able to pass the Pingda University.According to Qin Yan's request to extract the plot, he can still see ten lines at a glance.
Even if it is him, after watching it for an hour or two, he will become confused and muddled.
For Liu Zhengwen and the others now, watching martial arts and movies is such a boring and painful thing.
Hobbies can no longer be called hobbies at all.
They would want to give up many times. Although Qin Yan signed the contract with them at the beginning, they knew that it was more of a joke. If they really wanted to quit, Qin Yan would definitely not stop them.
But they also knew that when Qin Yan signed the contract with them, he was telling them: Screenwriting is not a game, but a job!
How can there be so many relaxed and happy jobs in the world, including when they were filming "Ancient House" before, they already felt Qin Yan's seriousness towards work.
At this time, they would take a look at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan read more books than them, took more notes than them, and finally summarized more typical plots, reversed plots, and jokes than them.
Qin Yan's efficiency is indeed higher than theirs. As a professional director, Qin Yan has long learned to summarize various plots.In addition, Qin Yan's working hours are longer than theirs!
Sometimes when Qin Yan's collective working hours were over, he was still watching a, but the next morning, he had already finished reading b and c.
According to Xie Beiyang's description, the weather in the north is dry, he occasionally gets up in the middle of the night to drink water, he can always see the gleam of Qin Yan's door, Qin Yan doesn't seem to need to sleep 24 hours a day.
This was the first time they had really seen Qin Yan at work, and now they understood why Qin Yan was able to write a script like "Ancient House".
For Qin Yan, there is no such thing as "articles are naturally made, and skillful hands can get them by chance" in script creation, only books and bitter seas can be made into steel.
The arrangement of every plot and the emergence of every conflict are all piled up by a lot of boring work.
It was also for this reason that Xi Qianqian and the others yelled a few times, and after venting their distress, they continued to transcribe.
Even Liu Zhengwen, who was the most jovial, threw himself into work after complaining, he held his breath mentally: I am a senior!Can't be compared to my juniors!
Everyone will feel the pressure. Now they can still cooperate with Qin Yan in movies. If Qin Yan continues to make progress, one day he will be left far behind, and there will be no possibility of cooperating together.
Among them, Xie Beiyang, who was half of the cohabitant, was most influenced by Qin Yan.
Recently, Xie Beiyang didn't go back to his dormitory at night, so he stayed at Qin Yan's house to read books with him.
At the beginning, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang were still reading at night in their own rooms without disturbing each other.
Later, I didn't know what happened. At night, the two of them would each sit on the sofa with a book in their hands.
No need to talk about anything, no need to say anything, just knowing that there is another person doing the same thing as yourself, you will feel extremely at ease.
In the dead of night and when there is no sound, there is no pressure. If you want to rest or do other things, you only need to say good night to the other party, and then you can go back to your room to rest.
Both of them were thinking silently: the life of cohabitation seems to be not bad.
-
Such high-intensity screenwriting work lasted for about a month, and finally completed the outline of the script that Qin Yan needed.
The outline alone has about 30 words, far exceeding the number of words in conventional movie scripts.
Of course, this is not the final script, which has been revised repeatedly.
Qin Yan has his own habit of writing scripts, that is to make the script full enough first, and incorporate all possible plots into the script.Then start to delete, and finally choose the most brilliant plot line among all kinds of possibilities.
In fact, the script in Qin Yan's hands is a very clichéd story. It tells the story of a young boy from a rich family, yearning for a fast horse and enmity.
Today I finally finished writing the finale of the whole story.The final outcome was finally determined after repeated discussions between Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang.
Although the tone of Qin Yan's entire plot is a funny and anti-routine Jianghu story, in fact, Qin Yan habitually added a deeper theme to the joke.
When Qin Yan refined the context and theme of the entire incident, Xie Beiyang and the others were stunned.They originally thought it was a purely funny story, so they didn't notice that Qin Yan had been secretly arranging another clue when selecting the specific plot.
And they also saw how monstrous Qin Yan really is, and they clearly completed the whole creative process together.
Every plot, every character, and every reversal was decided by them together, but they didn't find out in time what clue Qin Yan used to string together the whole material into a complete story.
"Clues" are the soul necessary for script creation. Generally, a bright line and a dark line are arranged to unfold at the same time.
Obviously, the bright line of the script is the various encounters of this young man growing up in the Jianghu, while the dark line is the changes in the Jianghu arranged by Qin Yan.
Sensing Qin Yan's abnormality, Liu Zhengwen couldn't help but let out a long sigh:
"My director Qin Da's script is finally finished. You can finally let us go. I almost vomited while reading the script."
God knows what kind of life they have been living recently, day and night upside down, exhausted.
Hearing this sentence, Qin Yan showed a smile. He was about to say something, but Xi Qianqian immediately interrupted him:
"I said, dear brother Qin Yan, can you stop showing this smile? I feel terrible when I see you showing this smile now. "
Xi Qianqian and the others have also cooperated with Qin Yan before, but their real cooperation with such a close cooperation started from "Ancient House".
It has been more than a year now, and they discovered that Qin Yan's temper is actually a bit black-bellied, especially when he shows a kind and gentle smile every time, it always makes their hair stand on end.
For example, when Liu Zhengwen offered to help with the script last time, Qin Yan smiled like this, and in a way close to coaxing, everyone joined in the entire script creation.
Xi Qianqian said the day before yesterday that she found that she had lost 5 catties this month, obviously without any physical training!But she was not happy at all. She felt that running 5km every day was easier than writing a script.
Xie Beiyang and Ren Yue on the side both nodded silently, both of them also obviously had dark circles under their eyes.
They all admitted that he had gained a lot during this month, and the hard work during this period was indeed worth it.
But can you give them some time to rest? If this continues, they feel that they will be killed by Qin Yan.
There were people who wrote scripts with him before, but no one had ever joked with him like this.Qin Yan will only check everyone's work progress on time, and in his heart, there should be no slack in film creation.
If Qin Yan assigns work and someone refuses, he can leave Qin Yan's project team directly.
Qin Yan, the □□, is not a name that is vain.
But at the same age, Xi Qianqian always had a feeling of pretending to be mature when seeing Qin Yan.Even though they knew that they might be plucking the tiger's hair, they couldn't help but sing a few words against Qin Yan.
Now seeing Xi Qianqian, Liu Zhengwen and others making jokes with him, Qin Yan was not only not angry, but even a little aggrieved, thinking: I am doing this for your own good, why don't you understand?
Qin Yan himself didn't know about his own changes. This may be the so-called obsession with the authorities, and the bystanders can see clearly.
But to get down to business, this script is indeed finished, but it is still far from the real completion.
Qin Yan said seriously: "You all think that watching martial arts and movies during this time will make you feel sick, right? You won't be happy because of the plot."
The four of them nodded immediately like elementary school students, for fear that Qin Yan would not see his resistance to martial arts works.
Qin Yan said: "Why am I not? I don't have any empathy for the characters in the whole martial arts drama. I don't even know whether I should be happy or sad for their experiences. I don't even have the supporting characters to die. any change of mood."
When they heard this, they felt a little bit emotional: So Qin Yan also felt the same as them.It turned out that Qin Yan was only alone, and he would also feel tired after watching martial arts works for a long time.
However, before the four of them had time to be happy, Qin Yan changed the subject:
"So now we have lost the ability to identify martial arts plots, and we have to find someone to identify them. Our evaluation criteria no longer count."
In fact, this also involves a dilemma in script creation-human world outlook, literary literacy, and artistic preferences are actually shaped by the day after tomorrow.
For example, if a person listens to rock music for a long time, he will feel that classical music is too boring; while watching classical dance for a long time, he will only feel that modern dance is too unrestrained.
Qin Yan and the others have been watching various martial arts works one after another for a month. They are so familiar with martial arts works that they even guessed the ending just after watching the beginning.
Just like a person who often drinks desserts, ordinary sweetness can hardly stimulate their nerve cells to secrete dopamine.
To put it simply - now Qin Yan and the others think that the script in their hands is funny enough and good enough, but it doesn't mean that the market will think it looks good.
When every director evaluates his script, he will call it a script with "rich content and full plot", but when the audience really evaluates it, most of the scripts will be rated as "out of life, unable to bring into the world". emotion".
Because these screenwriters and directors were talking nonsense in the first place?No, that's because their tastes don't represent most of the audience.
Huaguo currently includes most of the film and television screenwriters in the next few decades working alone. Many changes to the original work are done by hiring a screenwriter, and then discussing with the original author.
Occasionally, the director's opinion will be respected, but the actor's opinion will basically not be adopted, unless someone like Chen Daoming with enough prestige in the actor circle can speak a few words.
Who is the person who can comment on the script?
They are all film and television workers, and they are all people with a relatively wealthy material life. They are completely different from the vast majority of audiences in terms of artistic aesthetics, and there will inevitably be aesthetic deviations.
This problem has a better solution under the complete industrial film system in the West.
For example, there is a Screenwriters Association in Western Hollywood, and many film and television companies also have screenwriting departments.
When they were writing the script, they did not fight alone.They will be like the team formed by Qin Yan this time, a group of people will create together, challenge each other, and then improve together.
As for the authorship of the final script, it depends on who has achieved the most in the entire work.The screenwriters of the famous "Star Wars" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" all broke through from a large number of colleagues to obtain the final adaptation rights.
After the script is completed, they will also form an internal review, allowing more people to evaluate the script to see if the script's structure, rhythm, and roles meet market demand.
Finally, the overall quality of the script is scored. The higher the score, the more likely it will be adapted into a film and television work for the big screen or TV.
This is more like a cooperative group under the management system of a modern company. It does not sound like an artist's uniqueness and inspiration. However, the success of Hollywood commercial films has verified the feasibility of this model - fighting each other and fitting the market.
Qin Yan is particularly worried about one thing right now - the jokes they like are different from those of the audience in the market.
The most worrying thing about making a commercial comedy film is to make a work that I think is particularly funny, but there is no way to make the audience empathize with it, and it cannot arouse the audience's laughter.
It's a pity that Qin Yan's company has just been established, not to mention the establishment of an editorial department and the organization of the company's internal review meeting, and now even a professional screenwriter and reviewer have not been recruited.
After listening to Qin Yan's explanation, Xie Beiyang immediately realized that the screenwriting work had not been completed yet, and they had promised Qin Yan that "they will definitely complete the screenwriting work together".
So Xie Beiyang immediately said righteously: "Then is there anything else we need to do?"
As soon as Xie Beiyang said these words, Xi Qianqian and the others revealed a painful expression in their eyes.
My dear little white sheep, why were you cheated by the unscrupulous Qin Yan dog thief again?He just wants to deprive us of our labor force, how can you betray our proletarian alliance so quickly!
Seeing that Xie Beiyang took the initiative to take his words, Qin Yan showed a satisfied smile. He is indeed an actor he is optimistic about, not bad, not bad, very suitable for me.
Qin Yan directly ignored Xi Qianqian and the others' painful eyes and said, "First of all, we have to organize another group of professional people to judge the script."
This sentence means that someone will suffer again.But the script has a lot to do with it, it is impossible for Qin Yan to find someone he can't trust to evaluate it.
So Qin Yan found seven of his roommates, conducted a script evaluation training session for them, and then evaluated them.
The whole script has won unanimous praise from the roommates in the dormitory, and there are no major changes.But Qin Yan's harvest is not small. Several roommates have given Qin Yan a lot of suggestions in terms of character relationships and plot outbreaks.
But Qin Yan is still worried, because Qin Yan and the others are all college students, and except for Xie Beiyang, who are all college students majoring in film, they still cannot guarantee that the jokes of the script are suitable for more ordinary audiences.
So Qin Yan took Xie Beiyang and the others directly to the cinema for random interviews.
Pedestrians who go to the movie theater represent their willingness and ability to buy movie tickets, and this is the target group of Qin Yan movies in the future.
A completely random survey can ensure that the final results represent the real needs of the market.
These are survey methods for mature Western commercial markets. Most hero movies must first conduct market research to determine acceptance and love.
Of course, this public survey is different from the previous professional review process, and the complete script will not be shown to the audience.
Instead, from a large number of alternative plots, some of them will be selected for random investigation and questioning to test whether the investigators find it funny.
The whole investigation process went smoothly. Who made Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian look so good-looking?
Including Liu Zhengwen and Ren Yue who are working behind the scenes, as students of the Film Academy, their dressing can also be said to be at the forefront of the times.
On the street, such a young boy and girl asks you in standard Mandarin, "Sir/Miss, can I spare you a few minutes, I want to ask you to do a survey about movies", most of the passers-by do not will refuse.
Of course, Qin Yan is the most popular. After all, Qin Yan is considered a half-popular figure in the film industry. Many passers-by have recognized Qin Yan and asked for his autograph.
Qin Yan doesn't have any pretensions either. If you want to sign it, you can. Please complete a questionnaire first.
In three days, nearly a thousand questionnaires were collected, and of course Qin Yan was the hardest one.
In fact, Qin Yan could spend money to find someone to complete the street survey, but in the end he chose to do it himself.
Qin Yan is not worried about confidentiality. He can hire a professional team to ensure that the contents and results of the investigation will not be leaked.
Qin Yan is not worried about money. He is a person who can distribute tens of millions of Chinese coins to his partners, so it is impossible for him to feel sorry for these tens of thousands of dollars.
He chose to do it himself because he wanted to tell Xie Beiyang and the others, and at the same time he wanted to repeatedly warn himself:
When making a movie, you must not be high above the clouds.
You must not live in the ivory tower of filmmakers, arrogantly speculating what kind of movies the audience will like and what kind of movies they think the audience should watch.
Movies should always live in the world.
The author has something to say: Actually, I quite like this chapter myself.
048 to Hong Kong
"Miss Xi Qianqian, you now have a lot of international fans. We have seen many foreign audiences praise you as a 'beauty from the East'. Will you cooperate with directors from other countries in the future?"
"I have a question for Mr. Xie Beiyang. I heard that it is your first time to make a movie, but you have been recognized by many professionals in "Ancient House". How do you evaluate your performance?"
"I heard that many directors have praised the acting skills of the two and want to cooperate with you. I wonder if you have received invitations from other directors?"
……
One sharp and sensitive question after another was sent to Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian.The reporters were not stingy in praising the two of them, and at the same time they were depicting a seemingly rosy future.
I thought I could correctly view the "fame and fortune" that came with it, but when I really heard my name being compared with some well-known movie actors in other people's mouths, my heart still couldn't control the throbbing.
Coupled with the dazzling flash, the shaking microphone, and the continuous shutter sound, the heartbeats of Xi Qianqian and Xie Beiyang seemed to speed up accordingly.
Even the secretion of saliva in their mouths accelerated. The two subconsciously swallowed their saliva and then quietly turned their heads to look at Qin Yan who was standing in the middle of the entire interview platform.
Now is the premiere of "Ancient House" in mainland China. This time Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian also took the stage, and all the media immediately started chasing and intercepting them.
Many media have contacted Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian before, wanting to interview them.
Of course, most of the interview invitations are to invite Qin Yan first, and then invite them incidentally.
Qin Yan didn't hide anything about these invitations, he told them frankly.But it was just to tell, because Qin Yan had directly declined the interview on their behalf.
Qin Yan didn't hide his reasons. He said directly: "You are still not in a state of mind to accept these interviews calmly. You need to spend some time to settle down, otherwise you will face all kinds of compliments from the society. It’s very possible to lose yourself.”
They all understand these reasons. When Qin Yan declined the invitation for them at first, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian did not have any objections.
But over time, their mentality will still change slightly.
They saw Qin Yan appearing in various magazines, newspapers, and news reports, glamorous and full of energy; they also saw that the comments on his acting skills on the Internet were all praises, saying that they could have the acting skills they are today at this age, He is a leader among the younger generation of actors; at the same time, they even saw their fans on the Internet, and there are many people who want to see more of themselves...
Xi Qianqian is extremely serious in acting, because she holds her breath in her heart, and she must make achievements to prove that she is not a vase.
Now that I can prove my acting skills, but I have no way to show myself to the outside world, so I will naturally feel a little bit disappointed.
The same is true for Xie Beiyang.No matter how mature he is, no matter how good his family is, he is only an 18-year-old boy.
Before shooting movies, including attending the courses of Pingcheng Film Academy now, in fact, the family has always had objections.Especially his parents, think that acting is a low-level job, and he can't get on the stage.
But now that he has some achievements, if he can get reports and recognition from the official media, he feels that he has greater confidence in convincing his family.
Unknowingly, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian both wanted to show off.
Their friends would ask him: "Oh, why didn't I see you guys being interviewed? If there were your magazines and newspapers, I would definitely buy them!"
Their family members would ask him: "Where can I see your exclusive interview? Some relatives at home are asking."
They occasionally subconsciously fantasize about whether more people will know themselves if they are featured in a magazine.
The hearts of the people in the world do not suffer from being few but from being uneven.Especially when they saw Qin Yan making a big splash, the little thoughts in their hearts grew wildly.
And because Qin Yan refused all media interviews with the two, the interview reports of the two of them were even more precious.
Whoever can get the exclusive will be able to own the sales volume!
Many media privately found the contact information of Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, hoping to conduct a one-person interview.With all kinds of promises, Xu can't wait to describe the interview as a way to reach the sky.
Internal and external troubles finally changed the mentality of Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian.
At the beginning, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian would directly refuse, and would not tell Qin Yan about these appointments at all.
But recently, both Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian mentioned to Qin Yan in private: I rejected the invitation of a certain weekly magazine yesterday; what TV station wanted to be on a show with me a few days ago...
Although the tone of the two of them is still very restrained, Qin Yan has been in the film and television industry for so many years and has seen too many changes in the mentality of actors and stars.He saw through Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian's tails that were slowly turning up at a glance.
Qin Yan couldn't talk about any disappointment about this, because he
"Of course, I won't let you work for free. I will pay you the screenwriter's salary according to the market price."
Writing a screenplay is a lot of fun in one day, and you get paid for it.Liu Zhengwen, a simple young man, immediately nodded in agreement.
Just when Qin Yan was thinking about how to cheat more labor, Liu Zhengwen took the initiative to pull Xie Beiyang and the others:
"Anyway, you have nothing to do recently, why don't you come together. Let Boss Qin pay us wages."
"You think, if there is a script for a movie, it must be a great feeling if you write the screenplay, shoot it yourself, and participate in it yourself! If you miss this village, you won't have this store."
Qin Yan swore to God in his heart at that time that he never bribed Liu Zhengwen, nor did he use any power to force Liu Zhengwen to say these words.
Xi Qianqian and the others were very moved. They asked Qin Yan if he had any special requirements for writing skills. After Qin Yan resolutely said "no", even Xie Beiyang, Ren Yue and Xi Qianqian officially joined the script creation ranks.
Qin Yan showed an extremely gentle smile to everyone: "Then let us work hard for our script together."
Everyone originally thought that this was the joy of playing and working together.
But on the second day, when Qin Yan held a stack of screenwriting contracts, and the total contract remuneration reached six figures, even Liu Zhengwen realized that things seemed to be a little different from their imagination.
Liu Zhengwen wanted to run away, but Qin Yan stood behind him and Xi Qianqian, patted their shoulders and said:
"I don't think you can count your words, Mr. Liu Zhengwen, Ms. Xi Qianqian."
The next half month will be hell for Xi Qianqian and the others.
In fact, screenwriting is quite a threshold job. First of all, you must have a certain level of writing skills to be able to create a complete story.
For example, the legendary divine film "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is a shi-like script, which can't even tell the most basic stories.
On the other hand, if you want your work to achieve commercial success, you must understand and control the psychology and emotions of the audience in the entire market.
Many screenwriters have created some extremely bloody scripts, and the audience can't help but curse after watching them, but why can their works be changed time and time again, becoming star-studded TV series and even put on the big screen?The most typical ones are anti-Japanese dramas and youth dramas.
The reason is very simple, because these screenwriters have completely grasped the audience's inner reaction to the plot, which is not even clear to the audience themselves.
For example, in bad movies, the audience often doubts whether there is a character who goes out with his brain, and he has been jumping around in the plot as a monster.It stands to reason that an unreasonable character destroys the integrity of the entire story from the beginning.
But the screenwriter can completely maintain the ratings by creating the audience's hatred for this character and wanting to see when he will receive the lunch.
Of course, there are also many positive cases. For example, in a mystery film, the screenwriter must grasp the rhythm of the evidence and the real murderer.How to use the primacy effect and stereotype effect to mislead the audience, and when the real murderer is finally revealed, the audience will have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
So if you want to be a really good screenwriter, you must know yourself better than the audience.
But the script Qin Yan wants to create is very special, it is no longer a work of personal inspiration.
In the 90th and [-]s of the last century, martial arts were all the rage in Huaguo. Four martial arts masters, Jin, Gu, Liang, and Wen, appeared, and they created an extremely magnificent world of rivers and lakes.
Huaguo also started in the 90s, and a large number of martial arts-themed film and television works appeared. Even if the good and the bad are mixed, both the ratings and the box office are much higher than the same works.
This is also the reason why martial arts works emerge in endlessly and flood.
Moreover, the screenwriters know what audiences and readers like to see from martial arts stories, so these stories are becoming more and more similar.
Romantic fate, conspiracies and tricks, evil prevails over good, heroes and beauties, adventures in rivers and lakes... Only famous directors like Zhang Yimou dare to innovate and create.
In fact, Qin Yan also wanted to make a classic martial arts movie, crushing other works in terms of quality.But for the current Qin Yan, there is no way to do it yet.
The funds are incomparable, the cast is incomparable, and the martial arts props are also incomparable.
Although the box office of "Ancient House" is gratifying, more funds need to be settled by Paramount and Huaying, and it will take a year and a half.What's more, even if Qin Yan took all the money to make a movie, he would definitely not be able to invite first-line actors.
Qin Yan is just a director, he is not a god.
So he can only choose to find another way, which is to make a martial arts movie that is different from the current traditional ones.
How to win by surprise?Qin Yan thought for the last half day and the answer was a funny commercial film.
In fact, when Qin Yan came up with this answer, he was also a little tangled in his heart.
After getting so much money, what movie do you think Qin Yan wants to make the most?The answer is actually very simple, it must be an art film.
After all, he had been doing this in his previous life, and he was only one step away from the highest crown.
But what can you do with an art film now, there are no film audiences who appreciate art films in China, is it possible that Qin Yan will not climb and roll in China for decades?
What's more, Qin Yan, who has resurrected his life, has a deeper feeling for the film market in Huaguo. He feels that he may be able to do something to change the current and future film market.
So far, Qin Yan has settled on the characteristics of his script, which is funny, unexpected, and breaking the rules.
The idea of writing the script this time is also not Qin Yan's genius idea, but just ahead of the vision of this era.
At least more than 10 years later, there is already a professional term for similar plots on the Internet, which is called "anti-routine".
By creating plots that are contrary to conventions, the purpose of attracting attention and being funny is achieved.
To create an anti-routine script, the first prerequisite is to organize and summarize most of the martial arts works currently on the market.Only by condensing their elements can the anti-routine be carried out.
For example, if the protagonist gets injured casually, he will always be blessed if he survives a catastrophe; if he accidentally falls off a cliff, he can get the magic book; the protagonist who is obviously not outstanding in character, character, and martial arts can be favored by beauties ...
These plots can make the audience feel excited in traditional martial arts.
After all, who wouldn't want to be able to get something for nothing?Who doesn't want to be hit by a pie in the sky?
The goal of these plots is to create a sense of resonance between the audience and the protagonist, and then gain pleasure through the protagonist's experience.
The anti-routine is different. It breaks the routine and creates a gap between the protagonist and expectations, thereby driving the audience's pleasure.
Qin Yan's goal is to create a script that makes the audience laugh from beginning to end through plot reversal.
Although Qin Yan can also quickly come up with some reversal plot jokes, this is far from enough for a script.
As for the quality, it represents Qin Yan's personal subjective feelings.Therefore, he must collect and consult a large amount of information.
In the past 10 years, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, including Japan and South Korea filmed martial arts movies and TV dramas; domestically published in the past 20 to [-] years; there are also short stories serialized in magazines such as "Martial Arts"; even just emerging in the past two years Network literature……
Such a workload can be called overwhelming.
Qin Yan also thought about finding someone to share the burden, but this involves the creation of the script. If it is accidentally spread, it will be a completely devastating blow to anti-routine movies.
I didn't expect that when I was most short of manpower, "good people" like Liu Zhengwen and Xie Beiyang would take the initiative to send them to my door, so of course Qin Yan would not miss it.
In fact, Qin Yan still has a sense of mission in his heart.He was thinking that Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian would definitely go to work in different crews in the future, at least they had to cultivate their basic aesthetics for scripts.
The heads of the marketing departments of various film companies can completely judge whether a film is worth investing in through the script.
As long as Xi Qianqian and the others learn how to choose scripts and add their own acting skills, no matter how bad the quality of the final movie is, it won't be that bad.
That being the case, let yourself take on this great and arduous responsibility, and let them grow by setting an example through this script writing.
Qin Yan lamented that he was indeed a more and more good person, and he was really responsible for his friends.
The director's love for actors, photography, and sound effects is far-reaching.
Qin Yan is so considerate of everyone, of course he must be strict with everyone!
Even Qin Yan felt that the complicated and complicated work was an abyss of despair for others.
Qin Yan borrowed the books and movies that could be borrowed, and bought them directly if he couldn't.
It's not that Qin Yan is stingy, but Qin Yan knows that his home can't hold a lot of materials, and he won't use it again after using it once.
As the leading film school in China, Pingying has collected a large number of film works in its library.Qin Yan took Liu Zhengwen and the others to carry the materials every day.
After the rental amount of the few of them reached the line, Qin Yan mobilized his roommates Ding Chang and Ding Songzhi, and even He Jianhua couldn't escape later.
In the case of priority rental, Qin Yan recently spent five figures on books and DVDs.
Now the Qin family can really be called a sea of books.All kinds of martial arts are placed in categories, classified according to author, type, age, and country.Computers and two TVs have been playing film and television works from various countries at double speed.
Although Liu Zhengwen and Ren Yue also like to watch martial arts works, they watch movies in a state of freedom and doing whatever they want.
But now, while they were watching, they had to extract all the plots that impressed them and the plots that were not logically self-consistent, and record them in the notebook according to Qin Yan's request.
"A certain work", what kind of plot, what kind of emotions the audience is mobilized, and the frequency of appearance...
Moreover, everyone has specific workload requirements every day. At present, it seems that the daily workload is more than eight hours.
Human beings have many hobbies, but these hobbies can only make people feel happy if they are free of any burden.
And when they become a job, completed with a purpose, and even have various assessment indicators, they will become extremely boring.
Xie Beiyang's ability can be said to be quite outstanding, and his sensitivity to writing is particularly strong, otherwise he would not be able to pass the Pingda University.According to Qin Yan's request to extract the plot, he can still see ten lines at a glance.
Even if it is him, after watching it for an hour or two, he will become confused and muddled.
For Liu Zhengwen and the others now, watching martial arts and movies is such a boring and painful thing.
Hobbies can no longer be called hobbies at all.
They would want to give up many times. Although Qin Yan signed the contract with them at the beginning, they knew that it was more of a joke. If they really wanted to quit, Qin Yan would definitely not stop them.
But they also knew that when Qin Yan signed the contract with them, he was telling them: Screenwriting is not a game, but a job!
How can there be so many relaxed and happy jobs in the world, including when they were filming "Ancient House" before, they already felt Qin Yan's seriousness towards work.
At this time, they would take a look at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan read more books than them, took more notes than them, and finally summarized more typical plots, reversed plots, and jokes than them.
Qin Yan's efficiency is indeed higher than theirs. As a professional director, Qin Yan has long learned to summarize various plots.In addition, Qin Yan's working hours are longer than theirs!
Sometimes when Qin Yan's collective working hours were over, he was still watching a, but the next morning, he had already finished reading b and c.
According to Xie Beiyang's description, the weather in the north is dry, he occasionally gets up in the middle of the night to drink water, he can always see the gleam of Qin Yan's door, Qin Yan doesn't seem to need to sleep 24 hours a day.
This was the first time they had really seen Qin Yan at work, and now they understood why Qin Yan was able to write a script like "Ancient House".
For Qin Yan, there is no such thing as "articles are naturally made, and skillful hands can get them by chance" in script creation, only books and bitter seas can be made into steel.
The arrangement of every plot and the emergence of every conflict are all piled up by a lot of boring work.
It was also for this reason that Xi Qianqian and the others yelled a few times, and after venting their distress, they continued to transcribe.
Even Liu Zhengwen, who was the most jovial, threw himself into work after complaining, he held his breath mentally: I am a senior!Can't be compared to my juniors!
Everyone will feel the pressure. Now they can still cooperate with Qin Yan in movies. If Qin Yan continues to make progress, one day he will be left far behind, and there will be no possibility of cooperating together.
Among them, Xie Beiyang, who was half of the cohabitant, was most influenced by Qin Yan.
Recently, Xie Beiyang didn't go back to his dormitory at night, so he stayed at Qin Yan's house to read books with him.
At the beginning, Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang were still reading at night in their own rooms without disturbing each other.
Later, I didn't know what happened. At night, the two of them would each sit on the sofa with a book in their hands.
No need to talk about anything, no need to say anything, just knowing that there is another person doing the same thing as yourself, you will feel extremely at ease.
In the dead of night and when there is no sound, there is no pressure. If you want to rest or do other things, you only need to say good night to the other party, and then you can go back to your room to rest.
Both of them were thinking silently: the life of cohabitation seems to be not bad.
-
Such high-intensity screenwriting work lasted for about a month, and finally completed the outline of the script that Qin Yan needed.
The outline alone has about 30 words, far exceeding the number of words in conventional movie scripts.
Of course, this is not the final script, which has been revised repeatedly.
Qin Yan has his own habit of writing scripts, that is to make the script full enough first, and incorporate all possible plots into the script.Then start to delete, and finally choose the most brilliant plot line among all kinds of possibilities.
In fact, the script in Qin Yan's hands is a very clichéd story. It tells the story of a young boy from a rich family, yearning for a fast horse and enmity.
Today I finally finished writing the finale of the whole story.The final outcome was finally determined after repeated discussions between Qin Yan and Xie Beiyang.
Although the tone of Qin Yan's entire plot is a funny and anti-routine Jianghu story, in fact, Qin Yan habitually added a deeper theme to the joke.
When Qin Yan refined the context and theme of the entire incident, Xie Beiyang and the others were stunned.They originally thought it was a purely funny story, so they didn't notice that Qin Yan had been secretly arranging another clue when selecting the specific plot.
And they also saw how monstrous Qin Yan really is, and they clearly completed the whole creative process together.
Every plot, every character, and every reversal was decided by them together, but they didn't find out in time what clue Qin Yan used to string together the whole material into a complete story.
"Clues" are the soul necessary for script creation. Generally, a bright line and a dark line are arranged to unfold at the same time.
Obviously, the bright line of the script is the various encounters of this young man growing up in the Jianghu, while the dark line is the changes in the Jianghu arranged by Qin Yan.
Sensing Qin Yan's abnormality, Liu Zhengwen couldn't help but let out a long sigh:
"My director Qin Da's script is finally finished. You can finally let us go. I almost vomited while reading the script."
God knows what kind of life they have been living recently, day and night upside down, exhausted.
Hearing this sentence, Qin Yan showed a smile. He was about to say something, but Xi Qianqian immediately interrupted him:
"I said, dear brother Qin Yan, can you stop showing this smile? I feel terrible when I see you showing this smile now. "
Xi Qianqian and the others have also cooperated with Qin Yan before, but their real cooperation with such a close cooperation started from "Ancient House".
It has been more than a year now, and they discovered that Qin Yan's temper is actually a bit black-bellied, especially when he shows a kind and gentle smile every time, it always makes their hair stand on end.
For example, when Liu Zhengwen offered to help with the script last time, Qin Yan smiled like this, and in a way close to coaxing, everyone joined in the entire script creation.
Xi Qianqian said the day before yesterday that she found that she had lost 5 catties this month, obviously without any physical training!But she was not happy at all. She felt that running 5km every day was easier than writing a script.
Xie Beiyang and Ren Yue on the side both nodded silently, both of them also obviously had dark circles under their eyes.
They all admitted that he had gained a lot during this month, and the hard work during this period was indeed worth it.
But can you give them some time to rest? If this continues, they feel that they will be killed by Qin Yan.
There were people who wrote scripts with him before, but no one had ever joked with him like this.Qin Yan will only check everyone's work progress on time, and in his heart, there should be no slack in film creation.
If Qin Yan assigns work and someone refuses, he can leave Qin Yan's project team directly.
Qin Yan, the □□, is not a name that is vain.
But at the same age, Xi Qianqian always had a feeling of pretending to be mature when seeing Qin Yan.Even though they knew that they might be plucking the tiger's hair, they couldn't help but sing a few words against Qin Yan.
Now seeing Xi Qianqian, Liu Zhengwen and others making jokes with him, Qin Yan was not only not angry, but even a little aggrieved, thinking: I am doing this for your own good, why don't you understand?
Qin Yan himself didn't know about his own changes. This may be the so-called obsession with the authorities, and the bystanders can see clearly.
But to get down to business, this script is indeed finished, but it is still far from the real completion.
Qin Yan said seriously: "You all think that watching martial arts and movies during this time will make you feel sick, right? You won't be happy because of the plot."
The four of them nodded immediately like elementary school students, for fear that Qin Yan would not see his resistance to martial arts works.
Qin Yan said: "Why am I not? I don't have any empathy for the characters in the whole martial arts drama. I don't even know whether I should be happy or sad for their experiences. I don't even have the supporting characters to die. any change of mood."
When they heard this, they felt a little bit emotional: So Qin Yan also felt the same as them.It turned out that Qin Yan was only alone, and he would also feel tired after watching martial arts works for a long time.
However, before the four of them had time to be happy, Qin Yan changed the subject:
"So now we have lost the ability to identify martial arts plots, and we have to find someone to identify them. Our evaluation criteria no longer count."
In fact, this also involves a dilemma in script creation-human world outlook, literary literacy, and artistic preferences are actually shaped by the day after tomorrow.
For example, if a person listens to rock music for a long time, he will feel that classical music is too boring; while watching classical dance for a long time, he will only feel that modern dance is too unrestrained.
Qin Yan and the others have been watching various martial arts works one after another for a month. They are so familiar with martial arts works that they even guessed the ending just after watching the beginning.
Just like a person who often drinks desserts, ordinary sweetness can hardly stimulate their nerve cells to secrete dopamine.
To put it simply - now Qin Yan and the others think that the script in their hands is funny enough and good enough, but it doesn't mean that the market will think it looks good.
When every director evaluates his script, he will call it a script with "rich content and full plot", but when the audience really evaluates it, most of the scripts will be rated as "out of life, unable to bring into the world". emotion".
Because these screenwriters and directors were talking nonsense in the first place?No, that's because their tastes don't represent most of the audience.
Huaguo currently includes most of the film and television screenwriters in the next few decades working alone. Many changes to the original work are done by hiring a screenwriter, and then discussing with the original author.
Occasionally, the director's opinion will be respected, but the actor's opinion will basically not be adopted, unless someone like Chen Daoming with enough prestige in the actor circle can speak a few words.
Who is the person who can comment on the script?
They are all film and television workers, and they are all people with a relatively wealthy material life. They are completely different from the vast majority of audiences in terms of artistic aesthetics, and there will inevitably be aesthetic deviations.
This problem has a better solution under the complete industrial film system in the West.
For example, there is a Screenwriters Association in Western Hollywood, and many film and television companies also have screenwriting departments.
When they were writing the script, they did not fight alone.They will be like the team formed by Qin Yan this time, a group of people will create together, challenge each other, and then improve together.
As for the authorship of the final script, it depends on who has achieved the most in the entire work.The screenwriters of the famous "Star Wars" and "A Song of Ice and Fire" all broke through from a large number of colleagues to obtain the final adaptation rights.
After the script is completed, they will also form an internal review, allowing more people to evaluate the script to see if the script's structure, rhythm, and roles meet market demand.
Finally, the overall quality of the script is scored. The higher the score, the more likely it will be adapted into a film and television work for the big screen or TV.
This is more like a cooperative group under the management system of a modern company. It does not sound like an artist's uniqueness and inspiration. However, the success of Hollywood commercial films has verified the feasibility of this model - fighting each other and fitting the market.
Qin Yan is particularly worried about one thing right now - the jokes they like are different from those of the audience in the market.
The most worrying thing about making a commercial comedy film is to make a work that I think is particularly funny, but there is no way to make the audience empathize with it, and it cannot arouse the audience's laughter.
It's a pity that Qin Yan's company has just been established, not to mention the establishment of an editorial department and the organization of the company's internal review meeting, and now even a professional screenwriter and reviewer have not been recruited.
After listening to Qin Yan's explanation, Xie Beiyang immediately realized that the screenwriting work had not been completed yet, and they had promised Qin Yan that "they will definitely complete the screenwriting work together".
So Xie Beiyang immediately said righteously: "Then is there anything else we need to do?"
As soon as Xie Beiyang said these words, Xi Qianqian and the others revealed a painful expression in their eyes.
My dear little white sheep, why were you cheated by the unscrupulous Qin Yan dog thief again?He just wants to deprive us of our labor force, how can you betray our proletarian alliance so quickly!
Seeing that Xie Beiyang took the initiative to take his words, Qin Yan showed a satisfied smile. He is indeed an actor he is optimistic about, not bad, not bad, very suitable for me.
Qin Yan directly ignored Xi Qianqian and the others' painful eyes and said, "First of all, we have to organize another group of professional people to judge the script."
This sentence means that someone will suffer again.But the script has a lot to do with it, it is impossible for Qin Yan to find someone he can't trust to evaluate it.
So Qin Yan found seven of his roommates, conducted a script evaluation training session for them, and then evaluated them.
The whole script has won unanimous praise from the roommates in the dormitory, and there are no major changes.But Qin Yan's harvest is not small. Several roommates have given Qin Yan a lot of suggestions in terms of character relationships and plot outbreaks.
But Qin Yan is still worried, because Qin Yan and the others are all college students, and except for Xie Beiyang, who are all college students majoring in film, they still cannot guarantee that the jokes of the script are suitable for more ordinary audiences.
So Qin Yan took Xie Beiyang and the others directly to the cinema for random interviews.
Pedestrians who go to the movie theater represent their willingness and ability to buy movie tickets, and this is the target group of Qin Yan movies in the future.
A completely random survey can ensure that the final results represent the real needs of the market.
These are survey methods for mature Western commercial markets. Most hero movies must first conduct market research to determine acceptance and love.
Of course, this public survey is different from the previous professional review process, and the complete script will not be shown to the audience.
Instead, from a large number of alternative plots, some of them will be selected for random investigation and questioning to test whether the investigators find it funny.
The whole investigation process went smoothly. Who made Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian look so good-looking?
Including Liu Zhengwen and Ren Yue who are working behind the scenes, as students of the Film Academy, their dressing can also be said to be at the forefront of the times.
On the street, such a young boy and girl asks you in standard Mandarin, "Sir/Miss, can I spare you a few minutes, I want to ask you to do a survey about movies", most of the passers-by do not will refuse.
Of course, Qin Yan is the most popular. After all, Qin Yan is considered a half-popular figure in the film industry. Many passers-by have recognized Qin Yan and asked for his autograph.
Qin Yan doesn't have any pretensions either. If you want to sign it, you can. Please complete a questionnaire first.
In three days, nearly a thousand questionnaires were collected, and of course Qin Yan was the hardest one.
In fact, Qin Yan could spend money to find someone to complete the street survey, but in the end he chose to do it himself.
Qin Yan is not worried about confidentiality. He can hire a professional team to ensure that the contents and results of the investigation will not be leaked.
Qin Yan is not worried about money. He is a person who can distribute tens of millions of Chinese coins to his partners, so it is impossible for him to feel sorry for these tens of thousands of dollars.
He chose to do it himself because he wanted to tell Xie Beiyang and the others, and at the same time he wanted to repeatedly warn himself:
When making a movie, you must not be high above the clouds.
You must not live in the ivory tower of filmmakers, arrogantly speculating what kind of movies the audience will like and what kind of movies they think the audience should watch.
Movies should always live in the world.
The author has something to say: Actually, I quite like this chapter myself.
048 to Hong Kong
"Miss Xi Qianqian, you now have a lot of international fans. We have seen many foreign audiences praise you as a 'beauty from the East'. Will you cooperate with directors from other countries in the future?"
"I have a question for Mr. Xie Beiyang. I heard that it is your first time to make a movie, but you have been recognized by many professionals in "Ancient House". How do you evaluate your performance?"
"I heard that many directors have praised the acting skills of the two and want to cooperate with you. I wonder if you have received invitations from other directors?"
……
One sharp and sensitive question after another was sent to Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian.The reporters were not stingy in praising the two of them, and at the same time they were depicting a seemingly rosy future.
I thought I could correctly view the "fame and fortune" that came with it, but when I really heard my name being compared with some well-known movie actors in other people's mouths, my heart still couldn't control the throbbing.
Coupled with the dazzling flash, the shaking microphone, and the continuous shutter sound, the heartbeats of Xi Qianqian and Xie Beiyang seemed to speed up accordingly.
Even the secretion of saliva in their mouths accelerated. The two subconsciously swallowed their saliva and then quietly turned their heads to look at Qin Yan who was standing in the middle of the entire interview platform.
Now is the premiere of "Ancient House" in mainland China. This time Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian also took the stage, and all the media immediately started chasing and intercepting them.
Many media have contacted Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian before, wanting to interview them.
Of course, most of the interview invitations are to invite Qin Yan first, and then invite them incidentally.
Qin Yan didn't hide anything about these invitations, he told them frankly.But it was just to tell, because Qin Yan had directly declined the interview on their behalf.
Qin Yan didn't hide his reasons. He said directly: "You are still not in a state of mind to accept these interviews calmly. You need to spend some time to settle down, otherwise you will face all kinds of compliments from the society. It’s very possible to lose yourself.”
They all understand these reasons. When Qin Yan declined the invitation for them at first, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian did not have any objections.
But over time, their mentality will still change slightly.
They saw Qin Yan appearing in various magazines, newspapers, and news reports, glamorous and full of energy; they also saw that the comments on his acting skills on the Internet were all praises, saying that they could have the acting skills they are today at this age, He is a leader among the younger generation of actors; at the same time, they even saw their fans on the Internet, and there are many people who want to see more of themselves...
Xi Qianqian is extremely serious in acting, because she holds her breath in her heart, and she must make achievements to prove that she is not a vase.
Now that I can prove my acting skills, but I have no way to show myself to the outside world, so I will naturally feel a little bit disappointed.
The same is true for Xie Beiyang.No matter how mature he is, no matter how good his family is, he is only an 18-year-old boy.
Before shooting movies, including attending the courses of Pingcheng Film Academy now, in fact, the family has always had objections.Especially his parents, think that acting is a low-level job, and he can't get on the stage.
But now that he has some achievements, if he can get reports and recognition from the official media, he feels that he has greater confidence in convincing his family.
Unknowingly, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian both wanted to show off.
Their friends would ask him: "Oh, why didn't I see you guys being interviewed? If there were your magazines and newspapers, I would definitely buy them!"
Their family members would ask him: "Where can I see your exclusive interview? Some relatives at home are asking."
They occasionally subconsciously fantasize about whether more people will know themselves if they are featured in a magazine.
The hearts of the people in the world do not suffer from being few but from being uneven.Especially when they saw Qin Yan making a big splash, the little thoughts in their hearts grew wildly.
And because Qin Yan refused all media interviews with the two, the interview reports of the two of them were even more precious.
Whoever can get the exclusive will be able to own the sales volume!
Many media privately found the contact information of Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian, hoping to conduct a one-person interview.With all kinds of promises, Xu can't wait to describe the interview as a way to reach the sky.
Internal and external troubles finally changed the mentality of Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian.
At the beginning, Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian would directly refuse, and would not tell Qin Yan about these appointments at all.
But recently, both Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian mentioned to Qin Yan in private: I rejected the invitation of a certain weekly magazine yesterday; what TV station wanted to be on a show with me a few days ago...
Although the tone of the two of them is still very restrained, Qin Yan has been in the film and television industry for so many years and has seen too many changes in the mentality of actors and stars.He saw through Xie Beiyang and Xi Qianqian's tails that were slowly turning up at a glance.
Qin Yan couldn't talk about any disappointment about this, because he
